If you are interested in best practice in nanoindentation and small-scale testing, then maybe you'll be keen to get your hands on a copy of this reference guide: 

 "Nanomechanics for Coatings and Engineering Surfaces" - your guide to best practices in nanoindentation measurements and related small-scale test methods.

In the book, the authors demonstrate how to use test results to develop improved coatings, outline modeling approaches and numerical simulations, and show future directions for simulation of complex wear scenarios.

Ben Beake, Micro Materials Ltd's Director of Materials Research commented

"It was great to work on this book with Professor Tomasz Liskiewicz, Head of Engineering at Manchester Metropolitan University and the international team he put together. Tomasz's enthusiasm, experience and collaborative spirit, together with the painstaking work of our editors at Elsevier, were decisive in the successful completion of the project." 

The book contains 25 in-depth chapters, bringing together cutting-edge research and expertise from leading experts in nanomechanics, materials science, and surface engineering.
